Dreamfolks Services reported Q1 FY'26 revenue of INR 349 crores, up 8.8% year-on-year, with adjusted EBITDA of INR 30.5 crores (margin 8.7%, up 18.7% YoY) and PAT of INR 21.3 crores (up 24%). Gross margin improved to 13.3% from 11.7% last year, driven by price revisions and a better product mix. The company served 2.58 million lounge passengers in the quarter, but lounge services still account for 93% of revenue while non-lounge services contribute only 7%. Management confirmed that two major banks (Axis and ICICI) have shifted part of their lounge business to airport operators who have become aggregators themselves, though contracts for other programs remain active. To reduce dependence on lounge services, Dreamfolks is accelerating expansion into golf, social clubs, Coffee at Malls, wellness and railway lounges, and is targeting one-third of revenue from non-lounge services sooner than expected. The company has also shortlisted acquisition targets to bolster its top line and bottom line.
The shift by two major banks away from Dreamfolks for lounge services poses a clear revenue risk, and management was unable to quantify the impact, which may keep the stock under pressure in the near term. However, the strong margin expansion, diversification push into higher-margin lifestyle services, and planned acquisitions offer a path to long-term growth. Investors should watch for updates on bank migration impact and acquisition closures in the coming quarters.
